I think it's time to start your rehab and have at it! :joyous: Need a motor...well get to that later. Let's see I needed a motor, still probably need a used or re-furbish my trailer, electrical, gas tank, wood, glass...
Just get at it! Have fun@ Post pics, take pics and take a lot of pics and ask away! And alot of measures. You'll need them down the line when yoiu get close to the end of "SPLASHING IT."

No I can't do that KC..... Some Scott guy and other guy gave me thier opinion.. To sell the boat and whatever they else want me to do.. So I left my computer stepped out and took the boat to the boat market and sold it.. So these internet characters can be happy.. Can't splash anything now

 

[kcassells]

Capital Bummer... Sorry to hear that. Go grab another one and let's get started again. That was a cool boat. Hey I got schmucked when I joined. Just got over it and then that's that. In the end there are a great bunch of guys here to help. Oh yea I was called a bottom feeder.. lol!
Get back at it says I! The fever is already coursing thru your body! It doesn't go away. Also there are other forums but I think iboats is the best.

Oh I was being sarcastic.. Ofcourse I have the boat ofcourse I am still working on it everyday.. I didn't ask these guys for thier opinion.. And when they did anyways.. I told them nicely that thier opinion means zero to me.. They didn't get the point.. So make I just to clarify in not a nice way..

If you have opinion.. That is not aligned with my goal.. Then keep it for yourself... Because it's worthless to my goal. And if you think I should hear what you say.. They your character is worthless too..

People don't understand that opinions are like assholes, smell like **** and worthless.. Keep it for your Damn self.

No Title

What is the appropriate action for that area?

 

[kcassells]

Why'd ya drill a hole in the glass?
What was that for, do you know. Like a hull penetration for water/bait tank. Easy fix. The pic is so close I don't know what part pf the boat it is.

 

[mikymike712]

Well the hole was a mistake from me.. I was drilling the deck.. And one if the holes was too close to the hull and made the hole...

But what I am showing actually is the fiberglass. In some areas... Is not touching the hull... Do I grind that and put new layer?

 

[kcassells]

Yup, grind it down to smooth clean glass all around the hole. come out around hole to clean glass @8" in all directions. Tape outside off and fill with with PB/chop glass. Let that set up then cut some glass the size of the hole, next pc 2" bigger, next 2' bigger than that. Resin all at once. Outside's another story. Don't fret you can save add'l cuts to the outside for later and repair them all at the same time. Good chance more will show up.
-What kind a resin are you using, poly or epoxy? that will dictate the glass you want to use. See if others chime in and/or go to tips on the forum to see other techniques.
